Spanky Wilson-Sunshine of Your Love Sublime 12. Urge Overkill- Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon Obvious and a little cheesy but hell, apparently they're making a comeback 13. Blondie-Hanging on the Telephone Another obvious one but Blondie were kind of cover specialists, making hits out of a fair few obscure songs.Ziahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14186667733340347477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352950.post-1077588637711932982004-02-24T02:08:00.000Z2004-02-24T02:13:24.873ZTrying to sort out these links is a pain, I'm not very knowledgable in any web programming or code stuff so it's driving me a little crazy.

It's got that guy who was Dwayne in "A Different World" in it and he's good although I do keep expecting him to wip out the flip glasses/sunglasses combo out.Ziahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14186667733340347477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352950.post-1077586452533052392004-02-24T01:33:00.000Z2004-02-24T01:36:59.326ZThe follow up to the first part of the best cover songs is on its way.....Ziahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14186667733340347477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352950.post-1077585388949535172004-02-24T01:15:00.000Z2004-02-24T01:19:15.966ZSo I am going through a massive period of insomnia, it's really quite horrible, but it's given me time to do some stuff to the blog and get it somewhere near to how I would like it.Ziahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14186667733340347477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352950.post-1075915878329053272004-02-04T17:18:00.000Z2004-02-04T17:33:38.530ZFirst part of CD-R of some of the best cover versions ever...... 1. 50-Pence- In Da Pub ("look luv I got a fiver if you let me see your jugs") 2.
